Increasing skin tone: ultrasound, vacuum and radio frequency effects

Logo

Increasing skin tone, improving its texture, and smoothing wrinkles is the ultimate goal that doctors and cosmetologists strive for. Let's talk about hardware methods for restoring microcirculation.

The active development and application of ultrasound in medicine began in the 1950s. In cosmetology, ultrasound with a frequency of 24–28 kHz is used during ultrasonic peeling. Ultrasound with a frequency of 2.5–3 MHz is used for ultrasonophoresis.

Ultrasound increases tissue oxygenation, normalizes redox processes, activates metabolism and thereby increases the skin's regenerative capacity.

Vacuum massage and lymphatic drainage have been actively used in cosmetology since the 90s of the last century. The prototype of this is cupping massage. One of the most common methods is dermotonia, developed by the French scientist-physiotherapist Serge Karogozyan. The method has both therapeutic and aesthetic effects.
